None of those guys were carrying their teams to something big in a make or break year. Schaefer and Ainge mostly looked bad when Riggs and Houston weren't dominating.
I said nothing about how I expected the kid to do. You said one true frosh QB had been mediocre and I gave you about 10 names that show you were wrong. Quit while you're behind.
Are you serious? None of those had good years as freshman. If Barkley had been even mediocre they win the nc easy
You listed a bunch of guys who started as true frosh. You didn't list anyone who was decent as a true frosh.
Went on the road at night in Columbus in his first college away game, and won. Not many qbs, much less freshmen, have a win like that on the resume. Maybe I'm an easy grade. Watched Jon Crompton, Matt Simms, and Justin Worley for years...doesn't take much to impress me.
